Dreams

For the dream of your ability to control reality by substituting a world that you prefer is terrifying.

Your attempts to blot out reality are very fearful, but this you are not willing to accept.

And so you substitute the fantasy that reality is fearful, not what you would do to it.
And thus is guilt made real.

Dreams show you that you have the power to make a world as you would have it be, and that because you want it you see it.

And while you see it you do not doubt that it is real. Yet here is a world, clearly within your mind, that seems to be outside.

You do not respond to it as though you made it, nor do you realize that the emotions the dream produces must come from you.

It is the figures in the dream and what they do that seem to make the dream.

You do not realize that you are making them act out for you, for if you did the guilt would not be theirs, and the illusion of satisfaction would be gone.
